Heat transfer enhancement is of significant importance to many thermal management
applications. Multi phase flows are an effective way to meet increasing thermal demands. This
work investigates heat transfer enhancement ...

This thesis presents an investigation of the influence of silver content on
the creep behaviour of ternary tin-silver-copper (SAC) solder alloys. To this
end, the creep behaviour of Sn98.5Ag1.0Cu0.5 (SAC105) solder alloy ...

Two phase liquid-liquid flows offer significant heat and mass transfer enhancements over
single phase flows and, as a result, have found use in numerous emerging technologies
employing microfluidics. Such technologies ...

A barrier in scaling laboratory processes into automated microfluidic
devices has been the transfer of lab based assays: where engineering
meets biological protocol. One basic requirement is to reliably and
accurately ...

Background: Cell migration is a fundamental biological process and has an important role in the developing brain
by regulating a highly specific pattern of connections between nerve cells. Cell migration is required for ...

Group IV Nanowires have strong potential for several biomedical applications. However, to date their use remains limited because many are synthesised using heavy metal seeds and functionalised using organic ligands to make ...

This perspective summarises the first and long overdue RACK1 meeting held at the University of Limerick, Ireland, May 2013, in which RACK1's role in the immune system, the heart and the brain were discussed and its ...

A setup for mass flow rate measurement was developed for gas flow in T-shaped microchannels. Experiments with N2 were made on the test bench for the following purposes: 1) to test leakages and outgassing of the system, 2) ...

Surface mount chip resistors are amongst the simplest and most inexpensive of all components used
in electronic circuits and systems. Typically, resistor failure modes include open circuits, resistive
shorts or variations ...

Modern day airliners are subjected to a wide range of environmental conditions when operational
across the globe. In order to ensure reliable aircraft performance and avoid thermal
failure of heat sensitive components, ...

Increasing our knowledge of the mechanisms regulating cell proliferation, migration and invasion are central to
understanding tumour progression and metastasis. The local tumour microenvironment contributes to the ...
